Looking good there Nidge, i would go for a set of Modulars with either 265/285's on, i finally got some for my 110, much better for the Utility landy
 Got them from a member on here and they have mt's on at the moment Clayton.

Great work, looks amazing, better than new!
And tax exempt!
I wouldn't normally say this but I think I prefer it with the silver boasts to match the galv rock sliders and rear cross member, maybe add a galv bumper?

Hmmm... interesting thought James, a galvanised front military bumper, would look good and maybe then go with the silver Modulars and ST Max tyres.
Have I just made a decision.....maybe not

have you seen these wheels, you will be able to fit 285 and the stance will be cool

Time for a bit of an update for anyone who's still watching !! Been driving it the last few months with no major issues, apart from the canvas back wrecking my head flapping against the cab so it had to go !!
Its now a hard top and I can't get over how quite she runs, noise was one of the main reasons I didn't want a Hard top but there is no exhaust drone like the TD5 90 HT we have and will sit pleasantly at 70....
Also trimmed the seats to match the nice new cubby box I made up...... rear prop needed replacing as the splines were worn, also had a small engine oil leak from cooler pipe at the filter just need a tweak up. I need to re visit the rear springs as the rear end is still a bit lively as rarely carrying any load, currently running puma station wagon springs. I thinking maybe light duty OME 752 I think rated around 220lb mark. Nidge.

What a difference Nidge with the hard top on, imo it looks much better than the canvas
70 ??? down hill by any chance  Clayton.

Time for an update
Transmission slop was getting worse by the day , so ordered up a new gearbox from Shabs at Syncro Gearboxes, V8 5th gear and heavy duty bearings. Took it to my local Indy to install, as much easier with the use of a lift, rather than me trying to wrestle with it on the driveway. Click image to enlarge Anyway my troubles were only beginning...the transfer case was fooked....the wrong length bolts were used last time the box was mated to the gearbox, and had fouled the gearing, picture of the offending bolt below, ......Lesson learnt , split the box before installation when doing a rebuild just to take a look. Strange thing is last time I changed the oil there was little to no metal in the old oil, so assumed all was ok 
Click image to enlarge Lucky for me Dave had a decent 2nd hand one on the shelf, so I'm back on the road with the new Syncro Gearbox and I must say the drive is much improved and the V8 5th gear is the business.. Now to hand over more money to Shabs for a new transfer box  |
